Terminal Information – Arriving

Public transport in the USA isn't as good as it is in Belfast. There are public buses from the airport, but they're best avoided unless you know exactly where you're going. Tickets cost $2*(about £1.40). Express buses are also available, with a ticket price of $7.50* (about £5.25). Most hotels in Las Vegas offer airport transfers for an added fee. Car hire at Las Vegas-McCarran Airport is popular, and you can find great deals with Skyscanner. Metered taxis are available from outside the arrivals halls, and you can expect to pay $18-35* (£12-25) if you're going to The Strip.

Practical Information

You need a valid passport to fly to Las Vegas. The USA has a visa waiver programme (VWP) in place for British and Irish nationals visiting for fewer than 90 days. You'll need to fill in an online ESTA application 72 hours before you fly. Some people aren't eligible for the VWP: for example people who are planning to work, people who have been arrested, and people who have dual nationality with certain Middle Eastern countries or have visited those countries since 2011. Speak to your nearest American Embassy if in doubt. We recommend arriving at the airport about 90 minutes before your flight is scheduled to depart.

What to expect in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is seven hours behind Belfast, so set aside some time for jet-lag. The local currency is the US dollar ($). Las Vegas is a lot hotter than Belfast: the average temperature in July is 34°C but the mercury often pushes past 40°C. You'll be glad of the air-conditioned malls and casinos. Prices in Las Vegas are fairly similar to Belfast: bad news if you were looking for a budget break.
